Reading this with your child
The Giver explores a seemingly orderly community that actually conceals some very disturbing choices. Since it deals with mature themes like death, it's intended for older children rather than being a preschool read-aloud.
Poetry, activities, and longer fiction. Check the parent notes before choosing these for a younger child.
